  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

  • Olfactory Prey Attraction in Drosera?
    Technical Refereed Contribution Olfactory prey attraction in Drosera? Andreas Fleischmann • Botanische Staatssammlung München • Menzinger Strasse 67 • D-80638 Munich • Germany • [email protected] Keywords: trap scent, prey attraction, prey analysis, Lepidoptera, ecology, Drosera fragrans, Drosera finlaysoniana, Drosera slackii. The use of scented traps for prey attraction has been reported from a few genera of carnivorous plants: most prominently in the pitcher plant genera, where a sweet honey- or fruit-like scent is detectable to the human nose from the pitchers of some populations of Sarracenia flava, S. alata, S. rubra, S. oreophila, S. leucophylla, and S. minor (Miles et al. 1975; Slack 1979; Juniper et al. 1989; Jürgens et al. 2009; pers. obs.), certain species of Heliamphora (a sweet, honey-like scent is produced from the nectar-spoons of H. tatei, H. neblinae, and H. chimantensis, while the pitchers of H. sarracenioides produce a notable chocolate-like odor when growing under natural or favorable conditions; Fleischmann & McPherson 2010), and the pitchers of some species of Nepenthes (e.g. N. rafflesiana; Moran 1996; Di Giusto et al. 2008). Interestingly, the Venus Flytrap Dionaea also has been discovered to attract prey to its traps not only by the vivid coloration, but also by producing scented volatiles (Kreuzwieser et al. 2014). Furthermore, a weak, musty, fungus-like fragrance is emitted from the leaves of several Pinguicula species such as the five species from the southeastern United States (e.g. P. primuliflora and P. lutea, pers. obs.) and P. vallisneriifolia (Zamora 1995), and was even generalized to be true for the whole genus (Lloyd 1942; Slack 1979).

  • Mineral Nutrient Uptake from Prey and Glandular Phosphatase Activity As a Dual Test of Carnivory in Semi-Desert Plants with Glandular Leaves Suspected of Carnivory

The same characteristics might also hold for two semi-desert plants with glandular sticky leaves from Israel, namely Cleome droserifolia and Hyoscyamus desertorum. The presence of proteases on foliar hairs, either secreted by the plant or commen- sals, detected using a simple test, has long been considered proof of carnivory. However, this test does not prove whether nutrients are really absorbed from insects by the plant. To determine the extent to which these four species are potentially carnivorous, hair secretion of phosphatases and uptake of N, P, K and Mg from fruit flies as model prey were studied in these species and in Roridula gorgonias and Drosophyllum lusitanicum for comparison.

  • The Roots of Carnivorous Plants
    Plant and Soil (2005) 274:127–140 Ó Springer 2005 DOI 10.007/s11104-004-2754-2 The roots of carnivorous plants Wolfram Adlassnig1, Marianne Peroutka1, Hans Lambers2 & Irene K. Lichtscheidl1,3 1Institute of Ecology and Conservation Biology, University of Vienna, Althanstrasse 14, 1090 Vienna, Austria. 2School of Plant Biology, Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, The University of Western Australia, Crawley WA 6009, Australia. 3Corresponding author* Received 30 April 2004. Accepted in revised form 31 August 2004 Key words: carnivorous plants, insectivorous plants, morphology, nutrition, root Abstract Carnivorous plants may benefit from animal-derived nutrients to supplement minerals from the soil. Therefore, the role and importance of their roots is a matter of debate. Aquatic carnivorous species lack roots completely, and many hygrophytic and epiphytic carnivorous species only have a weakly devel- oped root system. In xerophytes, however, large, extended and/or deep-reaching roots and sub-soil shoots develop. Roots develop also in carnivorous plants in other habitats that are hostile, due to flood- ing, salinity or heavy metal occurance. Information about the structure and functioning of roots of car- nivorous plants is limited, but this knowledge is essential for a sound understanding of the plants’ physiology and ecology. Here we compile and summarise available information on: (1) The morphology of the roots. (2) The root functions that are taken over by stems and leaves in species without roots or with poorly developed root systems; anchoring and storage occur by specialized chlorophyll-less stems; water and nutrients are taken up by the trap leaves. (3) The contribution of the roots to the nutrient supply of the plants; this varies considerably amongst the few investigated species.

  • What Exactly Is a Carnivorous Plant?
    7HFKQLFDO5HIHUHHG&RQWULEXWLRQ What exactly is a carnivorous plant? Barry A. Rice • Center for Plant Diversity • University of California • One Shields Avenue • Davis, California 95616 • USA • [email protected] We all find carnivorous plants fascinating, beautiful, and interesting. But just what is a carnivo- rous plant? What are the attributes that transform a mundane vegetable into a hungry killer? For a long time I preached that a plant is carnivorous if it attracts, captures, digests, and absorbs prey. This four-point definition seemed to work. In 2009 I was asked to write a scientific review of carnivorous plants for a technical volume (Rice 2010). I used this opportunity to review prior definitions of carnivory in plants. The first carefully stated definition I could find had two parts: (1) a plant must have at least one adaptation for attraction, capture, or digestion of prey, and (2) that the plant must be able to absorb the nutrients from the prey (Givnish et al. 1984). Juniper et al. (1989) also offered a definition with two criteria—the possession of both traps and digestive organs. To the common four-point definition (attract, capture, digest, and absorb), Schnell (2002) added that a carnivorous plant must clearly benefit from the obtained nutrients. Why is it so difficult to easily define what we mean by carnivorous plants? The problem is rooted in two underlying issues: paracarnivory, and hunting inefficiency. Paracarnivorous Plants Paracarnivorous plants are those that have some, but not all, of the characteristics of a carnivo- rous plant. The situation is exemplified by the two species in the genus Roridula (Anderson 2005; Anderson & Midgley 2002).

This virus has a widespread occurrence in Argentina, where it infects naturally sunflower (Helianthus annuus ), Dipsacus fullonum and Ibicella lutea. Two biologically different strains of SuCMoV have been reported on sunflower: the common strain (C) and the chlorotic ringspot strain (CRS) and theirs genomes have been completely sequenced. The objective of this work was to sequence and analyze the complete genomes of two SuCMoV isolates, SuCMoV-dip, obtained from Dipsacus fullonum and SuCMoV-ibi obtained from Ibicella lutea to further characterize SuCMoV´s molecular variability and the genetic structure of its population. Total RNA was extracted from D. fullonum, and I. lutea systematically infected tissues and used as template to amplify the SuCMoV full-length genome. Three SuCMoV-specific pair of primers were designed to generate three overlapping fragments cDNA fragments to cover the full-length genome of SuCMoV–dip and –ibi. Three independent clones were sequenced for each of the three fragments amplified. The full-length genomic sequences of –dip and –ibi was assembled from three overlapping fragments using CAP3 and pairwise nucleotide (nt) and amino acid (aa) comparison were made with the EMBOSS Needle Pairwise Alignment Algorithms with default parameters.
